Almost 400 images from the Boston Gas Company Records are available for veiwing over the Internet. These photographs date from 1882 to 1972, with the majority between 1885 and 1910. These images are from Boston locations, including Boston neighborhoods such as Dorchester and the North End. The portraits of casual laborers, many recent immigrants, are particularly noteworthy as many of these individuals probably would not have otherwise had portraits taken (especially in their working attire and in the setting of their workplace). Overall, the photographs are an intriguing look at turn-of-the century Boston life.
